Today, the installation work of the Leopard has been almost completed.
However I have a small problem on the .Mac mail system.
Also I have version problem on the GIMP and the LilyPond. But it seems that time will be solved to these problems.
Of course, the Xcode and the RapidWeaver v3.6.5 has been already installed. And today the remaking of my Web site ( this Web site ) had been completed. Therefore, I could publish this article. ( However I have to remake more than 2 Web sites I'm managing... )

After installing the Leopard and the RapidWeaver v3.6.5, I checked the PostcardViewer plug-in first because some users reported to me that the PostcardViewer plug-in did not work correctly under this environment.
However the PostcardViewer plug-in was working on my environment without any problems.
To the user who uses the PostcardViewer plug-in, will you report to me how the PostcardViewer plug-in is working on your Leopard and RapidWeaver v3.6.5 ?

As you may know, people in the RealMac support forum revealed incompatibility of PostcardViewer plugin under Firefox (Mac OS X) and Camino. For more detail please refer known problem part of PostcardView plugin page. I postpone the improvement of the SimpleViewer plugin (including Blocks support), and am researching problem of the Overlay and Launcher style on Firefox (Mac OS X) and Camino.
According to my researching until now it has been discovered that Firefox (Mac OS X) cannot display the Flash by transparent style.
I think it's specification of Flash player (or plugin) for Firefox (Mac OS X) and Camino, because Firefox for Windows can display Flash with transparent style. Simultaneously, this means I have no chance to implement HTML of Overlay style and Launcher style for Firefox (Mac OS X) and Camino.

As a tentative measure, I will add a new parameter that sets the overlay block transparency. (In current version, this parameter is fixed to 0.6) If you set this parameter to over than 1.0, the overlay block will be solid black. You will obtain compatibility in Firefox (Mac OS X) and Camino instead of losing a cool transparent background.

I think Firefox (Mac OS X) and Camino's share of browser market is very few... I don't like this kind of rotten excuse (moreover, I'm Mac user). However please accept my plugin specification for some time to come.

Today I release the PostcardViewer plugin v1.0u.
This version include new style which is named Launcher style as already webloged.
The Launcher style is required to be used with the Page Block of the Blocks plugin which developed by YearHead.
I'm heavy user of Blocks. So I like the Launcher style in the styles.

Therefore, The use of the Launcher style might be a little difficult because you have to know function of Blocks.
Unfortunately, I don't have enough time to make the manual for this. However I release this for the meantime. The manual will be added all in good time.
Also this version includes some bug fixes.
Please download and enjoy !

I'm working to make the PostcardViewer plugin support the Blocks now. (The Overlay mode of current version doesn't work in Blocks) Also it's including cool new feature too.
Therefore, I'm exchanging about it with Isaiah who is a developer of the Blocks via mail several times.
I exchange mail with an overseas engineer on business occasionally. However, it's the first time in such a personal case. It's very happy to exchange not only a technical topic but also personal topics.

Almost Japanese people make "Japanese only" website. (Of course, I'm managing "Japanese only" websites like other people) Inevitably, almost people who access a Japanese website are Japanese.
However, English is a de-facto international language in internet. I feel internet is really connected to international as I made this English based website after all. And it's really exciting to make a plugin with collaboration with overseas people.

Also I thank Felix (the web creator who allowed the bundle of his cool Flash application), Charlie (the theme developer who cooperated for testing under his theme) and the RealMac forum people for positive cooperation !

I seem the weblog reader who knows the AIRTIGHT INTERACTIVE guessed it will be released when I released the SimpleViewer plugin.
Yes ! I release the second round of the AIRTIGHT INTERACTIVE Flash viewer plugin series today.
Introducing the PostcardViewer plugin.
The PostcardViewer is one of the favorite flash application for me. However this flash application is really cool when it's running on full screen on the browser. Also the operation condition of free version of the PostcardViewer is a little troublesome for the plugin architecture. Of course, IE is a selfish personality against such a situation.

Actually, it's not still displayed correct in some theme by IE. However almost functionality is working well. So I decided to release first beta today. If you found out some wrong html code which was generated by this plugin, please make comment this weblog.
I hope you like it.

"TOO COOL FOR IE" ... It's hackneyed expression.
Now I'm developing new plugin. In this moment, basic function has been completed. However it's not displayed correctly only by Internet Explorer as usual. I have iBook G3, iMacG4 and iMacG5. But what is worse is that I don't have Windows PC in my home. So I have to check a result of html generated by new plugin at my office. It's a very inefficient work.
The browser except Internet Explorer displays correctly the html. That means a basic html and css settings are very standard. Always Internet Explorer requests some tricky technique. At least that's the way I look at it.

My main job is computer-related work. However it's not the Internet market. I seem that person who is doing this kind of work is always frustrating.
I think I'm lucky my job is not the Internet market.
There you have it, will you allow me some more time to release new plugin ?
